Matatu operators across Kenya have initiated a nationwide strike, leaving commuters to fend for themselves as transport services halt. The protest is a direct response to escalating fuel prices, significantly impacting the cost of operation. The public transport strike was officially suspended following discussions between President William Ruto and sector leaders, with Ruto announcing a reduction in diesel prices. Meanwhile, the government has defended its handling of the crisis, while KTN News reported on the situation putting leaders under scrutiny as they face pressure to address the economic impact on commuters and transport businesses.
